So as an Administrator I click on a user, and it brings me to his profile page, where I can click on "Edit this User". This takes me to an Admin "selectoption" page which allows me to choose from a number of Admin functions for that user.
As a Moderator if you click Edit this User, it takes you to their Profile page...where you cannot add and remove them from groups.
Is there an easy way for a Moderator to get to the Edit Groups option?

Correct, and they can get to a link like that by going into Admin - Show/Edit Users - Search for Specific user, and clicking their name.
A bit involved if a Moderator has no idea how to get there.
Whereas an Admin can click any name, click Edit this User - and click Edit Groups.
I guess I am more asking if anyone knows why the "Edit this User" function for a moderator takes you to the Edit Profile page, whereas for an Admin it takes you to the Selection Page. I would think the Moderator would get the same SelectOption page with less options.

Open up menu.php from your admin folder. You will notice there is a section for Administrators and a section for Moderators. Copy this: <br /> $html -> open_admin_table();<br />echo <<<EOF<br /> <tr><td valign=top class=tdheader><br /> <b>{$ubbt_lang['GROUP_MAN']}</b> <br /> </td></tr> <br /> <tr><td width=30% valign=top class=lighttable><br /> <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/creategroup.php?Cat=$Cat" target="mainFrame"><br /> {$ubbt_lang['CREATE_GROUP']} <br /> </a><br /> <br><br /> <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/showgroups.php?Cat=$Cat&action=rename" target="mainFrame"><br /> {$ubbt_lang['REN_GROUP']} <br /> </a><br /> <br><br /> <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/showgroups.php?Cat=$Cat&action=delete" target="mainFrame"><br /> {$ubbt_lang['REMOVE_GROUP']}<br /> </a><br /> <br><br /> <a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/selectgroup.php?Cat=$Cat" target="mainFrame"><br /> {$ubbt_lang['MASS_GROUP']} <br /> </a><br />EOF;<br /> $html -> close_table();<br />from the Administrator section and add it to the Moderator section.

Waaaay easier than that.....  In showprofile.php Find this: $useredit .= "<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?Cat=$Cat&User=$User&option=oneuser">{$ubbt_lang['EDIT_T_U']}</a> | "; Change to this: $useredit .= "<a href="{$config['phpurl']}/admin/login.php?Cat=$Cat&User=$User&option= option">{$ubbt_lang['EDIT_T_U']}</a> | ";

Look futher down - that's the line the admin gets - the moderator normally gets the one that says "oneuser" at the end. It occurs twice in the file.

So do you guys think this is something that UBB.Threads might want to change for the official releases?
I flipped mine to work that way as well, just was not sure why it was linked differently for Mods.
